Where is the question? Did you forget to attach the image, or did you need to create several possibilities?
Step-by-step explanation:
If you wanted several possibilities:
Answer:
(2,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the system:
y=x+2
y=3x-2.
This is already setup for substitution.
I'm going to replace my first y with what the second y equals.
That is, I'm going to write 3x-2=x+2.
Time to solve the following for x:
3x-2=x+2
Subtract x on both sides:
2x-2= 2
Add 2 on both sides:
2x. = 4
Divide both sides by 2:
x. = 2
Now that we know x=2 and we have an equation that relates x to y: either y=x+2 or y=3x-2, doesn't matter which we use, we can find y.
So we y=x+2 with x=2 which means y=2+2=4.
So the solution, the intersection, is (2,4).

Answer:
x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The marked sides are proportional, so we have ...
x/8 = (x +5)/12
3x = 2(x +5) . . . . . multiply by 24 to clear fractions
3x = 2x + 10 . . . . . eliminate parentheses
x = 10 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 2x
_____
<em>Alternate solution</em>
We observe that the difference between the upper segment lengths is ...
(x +5) -(x) = 5
and the difference between the lower segment lengths is ...
12 -8 = 4
This means the upper segment lengths are 5/4 times as long as the lower segments. Then ...
x = (5/4)(8) = 10
